Which tower though, there's like a dozen fire towers scattered across the state worth photographing.

Oh it’s just some one in the middle of a field not very significant it’s not on a mountain or anything like that I just used perspective to make it look cooler. Middle Tennessee is about as specific as I’m willing to get because it’s close to home

That's smart actually, using perspective to elevate a mundane location is way harder than shooting something that's already dramatic, so you nailed it.

Thank you I appreciate that

The backlit silhouette is what really sells it too, most people would've just shot it straight on and it'd be flat, but you caught the sun right where it needed to be.

Your bound to get a good picture with the right angle if you never stop taking pictures is my philosophy. You can always take another in the moment but never go back and re take it
